Name an Aviation Theme Suite -- Win a Prize!

Why not call it the "Golden Age Suite" or just "Golden Suite." Make the
theme around the golden era of aviation that would include not only the DC-3
but the air racers, Gee Bee, For Tri-Motor, well, you get it.

The obvious one is the DC-3 suite, but beyond that...

We would LOVE a DC-3 suite -- but what to call it? "DC-3" just sounds
dumb, to non-pilots. "Dakota Suite" might work. Isn't that what the
Brits
called the Gooney Bird?

Shuttle suite

Well, we've already stretched the aviation theme to fit the "Apollo
Suite" -- simply cuz I really like that theme -- but the "Shuttle Suite"
just sounds too much like a bus. I think we're done with the space
program,
for now. (If we ever add that third building, THEN we'll be looking at
the
shuttle, methinks.

USS Enterprise suite

While I personally love Star Trek, that would make almost no sense in our
current hotel. It's gotta be aviation.

Top Gun suite

Now THAT would be an easy, and popular, suite. We really don't have any
suites that honor the modern era (the closest we get is the Blackbird
Suite,
and that plane was from the 1960s), so it fills that niche, too.

Too bad it sounds so militaristic and masculine. Gotta think of something
that appeals to the non-flying chicks, who make the lodging decisions 75%
of
the time... Maybe the "Maverick Suite"?

Please don't do a UAV suite.

THAT goes without saying. Unmanned vehicles are about as interesting as
pocket calculators, IMHO.

I kicked that one around also. Lots of characters, lots of airplanes, but
would it "click" with a non pilot? Would a non pilot know what "The Golden
Age" (of Aviation) was?

I would think that would be a great fit, for the non aviation crowd. What
do the older folks call their place in life? The golden years. Baby
boomers getting old has been a big subject lately.

The seniors would love to see the old airplanes, because the sight of DC-3's
is what they grew up with, and some of the other old planes were common
sight, also.

The fact that it will be smaller, and single story, is a good fit, also. No
stairs to deal with. Seniors traveling seldom have kids to accommodate, so
that is not an issue.

Jay H,

"USS Enterprise" was an aircraft carrier LONG before it was a Starship...

Two aircraft carriers, actually, plus three schooners, a patrol boat, a
corvette, and a sloop. CVN-65 is the eighth US navy vessel to bear the name
"Enterprise".

By the way, Enterprise CVN-65 made its maiden voyage in 1962, not all that
long before Enterprise NCC-1701 made its maiden voyage in 1965.

Maverick Suite would be good. Tomcat suite is probably right out.
Certainly easy enough to decorate.

Top Gun *might* appeal to NFC's more than we'd think. Beach vollyball
and all that. The movie was popular with women.

Yep. Top Gun is the only "guy's movie" that Mary will watch, start to
finish. She turns all giggly and silly whenever that beach volleyball
scene comes on...
